Not all neoantigens are created equal

Drug Target Review

These neoantigens are identified by T cells of the immune system as foreign proteins and thus trigger an immune response. Neoantigens are recognised as non-self and trigger an immune response. To fell the entire tree, it is necessary to target the original clonal neoantigens that are present in every cancer cell.

In 2010, researchers at the J. Similarly, about 40 percent of people with a deficiency in either IRAK-4 or MyD88 — key signaling molecules just downstream of the pattern recognition receptors — die before reaching adulthood, despite receiving vaccines, antibiotics, and advanced medical treatment.

The Quest for Universal Flu Vaccines

Codon

Once they identified the cause, scientists in New York City and elsewhere hurried to create a vaccine. American researchers tested the first flu vaccines on military personnel in the early 1940s, with a civilian rollout following in 1945. Receiving the seasonal vaccine reduces the risk of infection by just 40 percent on average.
